So glad we found this cafe for lunch. Sandwiches, cheese and chutney & prawn were really tasty, served with salad and crisps. We brought cakes home as we were so full. Hot drinks, tea and cappuccino, also excellent.

I've eaten here a handful of times and it's my new go to breakfast place now. The food is so so tasty and very reasonably priced for the quality. The owners are so friendly and make the experience even better. Thank you

We went in here today and we were very pleased we did. Excellent service. We had one of the specials which was thai red chicken noodles. It was very tasty. It was as good as what we had in Thailand. We spoke to the chef Tracey who was helpful, friendly and very knowledgeable. Great value for money. Highly recommended. Will definitely be back. Sharon and kevin.

We struggled finding somewhere to eat and we landed on this harbour side cafe. Welcoming was relaxed food was amazing and wine was very nice. The staff were amazing. This is a place I would come to every time I visit Cornwall. We noticed the fish was freshly prepped and the wine is locally sourced from 1mile down the road.

A down to earth, bustling little cafe with lovely friendly staff, a really good chef, delicious food and an inclusive atmosphere. The clientele range from locals coming for a coffee, swimmers warming up after a cold swim with a slap up breakfast, harbour and dry dock workers popping in for lunch or a coffee, and travellers on their way to the Scilly Isles( the ferry is just fine minutes walk away.) Good views of the harbour and outside seating too. Highly recommended!

We ate fresh Cornish red mullet goujons (daily menu) what was absolutely fantastic! Probably more delicious than any fish&chips I ate before.
